Stage 3; I've added more detail to the wave forms, putting in some of the surface ripples that go with high wind. I've also slightly altered the shape of the breaking wave by moving the lower end of the main foaming crest to the right a little. Before, it had seemed to chop the picture in two down the middle.

New painting - Wandering albatross: Just in the last half an hour I have started blocking in the composition. I painted a small acrylic rough version (to the right of the easel in this view) as a template because this picture is a distillation of a number of different experiences, including the very sobering one of sailing through the centre of a hurricane during the small hours of the morning!
This oil painting will, if everything goes according to plan, be auctioned to raise funds for the RSPB's 'Save the Albatross' campaign.
